Ever have a time where you wished you had short, quick quizzes for kids just to pre-test or even post-test at the end of a unit before moving on? Give thatquiz.org a shot. You can select concepts in math, geography, science, and foreign languages and then even drill down into details like number of questions or time allowed if you wish. Students don’t have to register. They just use the test code you give them.

Registration is free and teachers who register receive complete record-keeping of student grades.

Just plug the video in and start writing questions, comments, even quizzes — then save the lesson as a private link and share with your students. The site allows you to see who’s completed the lessons and track individual progress. It’s still in beta, but we’re so excited about this feature we had to share.
